CoLinux new release is out

Interesting... Cooperative Linux (CoLinux), a system for running a Linux kernel completely natively within an NT environment, has now been released at version 0.60.

New features to this release include a Kernel upgrade to 2.4.25, an easy to use Windows Installer, no restrictions on the amount of physical ram available for the guest Linux system, support for running i686 and higher Linux binaries, several new console interfaces, a bridged network adapter, and support for block devices larger than 2Gb.

CoLinux is really a good product, it allows you to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware or similar. It's a tol to check!

ASP.NET Overtakes JSP and Java Servlets?

Just read on Netcraft:

In this month's Web Server Survey the number of IP addresses with sites using ASP.NET has overtaken those using JSP and Java Servlets. The number of IP addresses found with ASP.NET has shown very strong growth in the past year with a 224% increase from 17.2K to 55.8K. JSP & Java Servlets despite being overtaken is the next fastest growing in percentage terms with a 56% increase.

Interesting... ASP.NET seems to be a mature technology now and IIS 6 a really good web server. Wonderful!
